    There is a dude here who says we have had perfect aproach all season long and we shouldt wanna get oppo bp in game because they throw sooooo hard. Yeah. And then 4 game series and oppo SP's go 7 inn each and their top dogs come fresh to finish every game while we throwing Chas 3 times a week :).

    The rangers are such a joke and their WS was a total fluke. Not just saying that because I hate them, even their own fans are saying that.

    We would have 3 championships if we could have just figured out a way to win 1 out of 4 home games in that series.

    Replace urias for smith against RHP in my opinion. Altuve at LF. Especially when you are talking about Framber or brown on the mound.

    4 championships if we hadn't done the impossible twice, win all 3 road games but still manage to lose the series. Aren't we the only ones to ever do that even one time, much less twice? Jesus Christ, make that make sense.

    "Sanitarium" would also be appropriate

    With Garcia, Arrighetti, and Javier back....and maybe Walter......we could have 8 starting pitchers.

    Could some of them move to the bullpen, probably not the injured ones....maybe Arrighetti and Walter to the pen????? And Alexander too?

    We are currently playing a 6 man rotation before Walter and Garcia come back.

    1. Brown
    2. Framber
    3. Arrighetti
    4. Javier
    5. Alexander
    6. McCullers

    Then you have Walter and Garcia back.......we need long bullpen guys.

    Well he borrowed the line from Creeping Death. I was just giving a nod to that.

    but Sanitarium is always appropriate

    of course, he could’ve been quoting the 10 commandments, which were also written by Metallica

    Here's one of those weirdass baseball things I cannot understand or explain: Christian Walker

    batting 4th, 297 PA, .190 .263 .336 .598 (33 RBI)

    batting 5th, 131 PA, .298 .344 .529 .872 (25 RBI)

    2019 WS was the first time in American sports history that the home team lost all 7 postseason games.

    He’s got almost fifty innings under his belt and he has an era over 6 and the underlying numbers don’t look much better. His fastballs sit at 91mph and are among the least effective pitches in the entire league. His curveball is his only effective pitch. He is extremely unlikely to ever be a viable SP.
